Why does my AWS AppFlow setup not show any subobject for selection?


I have just been given admin access to a Google Analytics portal that tracks the corporate website's activity. The tracked data are to be moved to Amazon S3 via AppFlow.

I followed official AWS documentation in how to setup the connection between GA and AWS. We have created the connection successfully but I came across an issue I can't find an answer to:

No subobject available for choosing

Subobject field is empty. Currently, there are already ~4 months worth of data so I was thinking it's not an empty data thing. This issue does not allow me to proceed creating the flow as it is a required field. Any thoughts?

note: the client and the team is new to AWS, so we are setting it up as we go, learning on the way. thank you for the help!


Solution

  • Found the answer! The Google analytics account should have a Universal Analytics property available. Here are a few links:
